Well, I’m humbled. My baby — all of six months old — beat me to the finish line at a 5K this weekend, setting her PR, her PDR and even winning the unofficial stroller division. I’m just hoping it’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship she has with fitness. On Friday, DadJovi called and said he had a couple of extra spots in a brand new 5K, and did we want them? I said yes, recruited Lucas and Audrey to {Read More}
The Day I Most Miss Being in Boston

UPDATE, 9pmET: It seems shocking that only a few hours ago, the post I wrote below was so full of hope and happiness around an event that has been close to my heart since I was a kid. Someone or someones blew up a couple of bombs this afternoon and left people dead. Left them critically injured. Left an entire world to wonder…why? how? And left me raw. I don’t have the right words to sum up the pain I {Read More}

Today kicks off Best Body Bootcamp, and I’m both excited and scared. As my fit test showed, it’s been a long time since I did any strength training — I was going to the gym right up until I went into labor with BabyBug, but that’s nearly six months ago. And I see it in my squishy muscles and I feel it in my wall squats (more like wall sink to the floor). I have pretty reasonable goals for this {Read More}

Remember my goal of finishing with a smile? CHECK. My cheeks hurt from grinning during this weekend’s 10K, despite a lot of challenges. When we arrived at the event (me, my amazing husband and our bleary-eyed 5-month-old), things looked great. I could hear my friend and race announcer Carissa welcoming everyone to the event, and I could see the beautiful course just starting to light up. But I could also feel a breeze coming in, and I wondered if the {Read More}
